4.12 Remote administration
ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) is a powerful tool to manage security policy and to obtain an overview of the
overall security within a network. It is especially useful when applied to larger networks. ERA not only increases the
security level, but also provides ease-of-use in the administration of ESET Mail Security on client workstations.
Remote administration setup options are available from the main ESET Mail Security program window. Click Setup
> Enter the entire advanced setup tree... > Miscellaneous > Remote administration.
Activate remote administration by selecting the Connect to Remote Administration server option. You can then
access the other options described below:
Interval between connections to server (min.): This designates the frequency that ESET Mail Security will
connect to the ERA Server. If it is set to 0, information will be submitted every 5 seconds.
Server address: Network address of the server where the ERA Server is installed.
Port: This field contains a predefined server port used for connection. We recommend that you leave the default
port setting of 2222
Remote Administrator server requires authentication: Allows you to enter a password to connect to the ERA
Server, if required.
Click OK to confirm changes and apply the settings. ESET Mail Security will use these settings to connect to the
ERA Server.
